Welcome

The Zonta Club of Northampton Area has been dedicated to Zonta’s mission of empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy since 1934. As we say in our club, “we act locally AND we act globally!”

We worked The Period Project this January & February, similar to what we did last year for the first time, along with the Quaboag Valley and Springfield Zonta clubs in Western Massachusetts near the Connecticut River. Once again, we collected feminine products to share with women in need at shelters and centers. People contributed donations of products or money. We put together distribution packages on Feb. 14th and delivered them to shelters and agencies in the area.

Working with Tapestry Health, providing advocacy and helping with fundraising. The main office is in Northampton, a community-based non-profit in western Massachusetts offering affordable, high quality care, including family planning services, reproductive health exams, STI screenings, HIV counseling and testing, needle exchange, outreach efforts, a WIC nutrition program, and much more.

We raise funds for Safe Passage, our local non-profit working to eliminate domestic violence, by walking in the annual Hot Chocolate Walk/Run: Step Up for Safe Passage on the first Sunday in December.

Please visit often! Soon you will be able to sign up to a Mailing List to receive occasional newsletters and announcements of specific projects, programs and other events.
